Chapter 161: Lin Lin’s Gaze Became Sharp

Lin Lin faced a very serious situation.

First, she looked at the determined Wood Elf. Stubborn.

Then Lin Lin turned to the Half Worgen on the ground, with dark lines on his face, showing his teeth at the Wood Elf. Stubborn dog.

It’s so hard, really so hard.

Because both are stubborn, it created a solid and unbreakable situation.

"Say something," Lin Lin pleaded with Palin, who had pulled her out of bed, "Quick, use your brain to think of a solution."

Palin frowned, "Asking a Worgen to think of a solution is really a bit difficult for my kind…"

Alright! It has to be the unstoppable Lin Lin to solve the problem!

Lin Lin raised her hand and asked the Wood Elf, who seemed to still be clear-headed, "Why did you start fighting?"

Veridan tilted the corner of her lips, her appearance cold and sharp, and when she smirked, it felt very sarcastic, "I just came to take a look, and I didn’t expect this guy to hide in the woods and ambush me."

Lin Lin saw a shallow cut on Veridan’s arm, stained with a little light pink elf blood.

It seems that Veridan barely managed to avoid Lorken’s attack.

This is solid evidence, solid evidence indeed.

Lin Lin’s smile grew stiffer as she looked at Palin standing nearby, whose large wolf-like eyes sparkled with expectation.

Please don’t show that puppy dog face!

"Does it hurt? I can help you heal!" Lin Lin reached out, and a magic wand suddenly appeared in her palm.

This spell was learned from the Demon King; it can store limited items in a certain space, and you can take them out whenever you want.

Although she used it normally, it looked very impressive when she did.

Every time Lin Lin used this trick, she seemed very mysterious. After all, in this world, magic is very precious, and this spell seemed like a waste.

The magic wand emitted a soft white light that surrounded the Wood Elf’s arm, slowly closing the wound.

Veridan looked at Lin Lin as the Wood Elf put away her bow and arrow, her gaze moving back and forth between Lin Lin and Lorken, showing a knowing expression, "Be careful with your dog; next time, it might not be so easy to talk to."

Good, since Felix, Lin Lin now has her second "dog."

No, why do you elves always call others dogs? Do you have some misunderstandings about human society?

Veridan put her bow back behind her; she looked ready to venture deeper into the forest.

Perhaps because Lin Lin healed her wound, the Wood Elf said calmly, "The black mist is becoming thicker; the demon realm is growing."

Veridan used a clever word; the demon realm is "growing," as if this place were a seed sprouting.

Lin Lin watched the back of the Wood Elf disappear into the depths of the forest and then turned around.

She had wanted to use a Mental Shock on Lorken, but now it seemed his body might not be able to handle it.

Lorken was trembling.

Palin held Lorken down, and Lin Lin used a healing spell on him, but it didn’t work very well.

In fact, after entering the demon realm, Lin Lin’s healing spell was much less effective. The Wood Elf was a creature blessed by the light, so she should heal faster.

The use of magic made Lin Lin feel a bit weak, so she put away her magic wand and sat down on a dry tree stump nearby.

Compared to Lin Lin, Palin was more nervous. He tied Lorken’s hands and feet with rope, afraid he might escape.

How familiar this scene was; Lin Lin almost wanted to laugh.

"Are you tying him too tightly?" Lin Lin asked.

Not only were his hands and feet tied, but Palin also wrapped Lorken’s head twice with rope, keeping his lips apart so that the young man’s sharp teeth could not close.

"If you bite someone, it will be a problem," Palin gently ran his paw over Lorken’s furry head, like he was drying sweat.

Dogs rarely sweat; they mostly cool down with their tongues. Even though Palin had been a Worgen for many years, his human memories still held back his actions.

Lin Lin swung her feet as she looked at the red marks on Lorken’s face and neck from the rope. He seemed confused, and when he saw Lin Lin sitting not far away, the young man let out a low growl, as if he wanted to bite her fragile neck.

"Lorken, you can’t do that," Lin Lin kindly told him, "It won’t do you any good to offend me; I will give you a Mental Shock."

Those four words carried weight. After Lin Lin spoke, Lorken shuddered, and his dark red eyes showed a hint of doubt, as if he was trying to decide if Lin Lin was lying to him.

"You look like an older brother," Lin Lin ignored the one who couldn’t communicate and spoke to Palin. "Have you spent a long time together?"

"Not really; Worgen are not social animals," Palin said, as he had disturbed Lin Lin’s sleep and had just received her kindness, so he was very cooperative. "I just feel like no one taught him how to be a Worgen."

Palin looked up at the moon. "Maybe when tomorrow comes and it’s no longer a full moon, things will be better."

"Tomorrow will still be a full moon," Lin Lin said confidently. The Red Moon hung high in the sky as she thought seriously, "Shall we try a home remedy?"

She looked so sure of herself that Palin began to think she must be quite a strong character.

Palin showed a hesitant expression, "What do you mean by home remedy?"

Lin Lin replied, "Using cold water to wash it off will drain his power to transform into a Worgen… That’s what my Worgen friend told me."

*

Lorken felt that everything was terrible.

First, the full moon made him feel lightheaded. He tried to control himself, but his body had its own ideas, leading him away from the inn and into the wild forest.

Then, he caught some magical creatures. It worked well; his strength and agility increased greatly, but tearing into raw rabbit meat with his teeth felt awful, and he tried one bite and spat it out.

After that, he attempted to provoke an elf.

They are the children of the forest, true fairies! He provoked the fairies in the forest!

If Lorken were awake, he would never do this, but he was completely blind with rage, too excited, wanting to win at all costs.

In the end, he was tightly bound and thrown into the middle of the river.

The river water in winter is bone-chillingly cold. Even though the Worgen’s heightened body temperature could not resist such coldness, Lorken had a brief moment of clarity after being thrown into the river.

Soon, Worgen’s blood boiled again, as if it were fighting against his will, crashing back and forth.

With his head submerged in the icy water, someone reached out to pull up his hair and carefully examined his face, "Are you awake?"

Lorken bared his teeth.

The woman mercilessly plunged his head back into the water.

Lorken struggled desperately, his bound body like a fish caught in a net.

Then, someone lifted his head again, and it was the same gentle voice, "Do you feel better?"

The crimson eyes stared at the soft face of the woman, and the warm brown eyes watched him too.

He was being watched.

His head was pushed down, and cold water washed away the hot temperature.

Again and again, the boiling blood of Worgen felt like a dying flame, and his mind began to awaken slowly.

His vision became clearer.

The woman’s loose hair fell over her forehead, with curved brows and eyes. She reached out to open his watery and messy eyes, lips, and mouth, checking his condition.

She was not a dentist, but she touched his sharp teeth like a dentist.

Unlike the cold river water, the woman’s touch brought warmth.

And, fragrant.

Lorken opened his lips and teeth as he was told, and liquid fell from the corner of his mouth. He couldn’t tell if it was saliva or river water that rushed into his mouth.

As long as he followed along, his head would not be submerged in the cold water again. He sensed a pattern in it.

The young man gently touched the woman’s finger with his nose, and he heard her kind praise, "Good boy, keep it up."

Lorken raised his face; he was a good boy.

Half Worgen teeth are quite different from human teeth.

This was the first time Lin Lin had touched Half Worgen teeth. Lorken’s mouth could open wider than a regular person’s. He had more canine teeth than usual but also had flatter teeth for chewing plant food, which might be why he didn’t dislike it.

Unlike his light-colored lips, Lorken’s tongue was very red. His tongue was wider and more flexible, and when Lin Lin looked at his teeth, that nimble tongue eagerly curled around Lin Lin’s finger, as if tasting her, then swallowed.

Yes, Lin Lin noticed that instinctively, Lorken was willing to swallow everything that entered his mouth, even the icy river water, which he drank several times.

Lin Lin opened the young man’s eyes again and confirmed that most of the crimson color in his pupils had faded away.

She said, "Palin."

The Worgen had strong survival skills. While Lin Lin checked Lorken’s condition, Palin gathered many dry sticks and piled them with stones to make a simple fire.

The dry sticks crackled as they burned. The three of them sat around the fire. Lorken rested his chin on Lin Lin’s knee, lying there like a real little wolf.

The flames warmed him, and his wet clothes dried nearby, while he wore a Worgen’s coat and trousers.

"You know the Red Moon has always been a full moon," Palin said in a deep, hoarse voice.

"Yes," Lin Lin replied.

She was poking the fire with a stick when the stick in her hand caught fire, and Lin Lin quickly tossed it into the flames.

Lin Lin felt a strange emotion; part of her thought she shouldn’t talk to others about time and space, while another part wondered, "So what if I do?" Did she really think her few words would change anything?

"I…" Lin Lin began, "I come from two hundred years in the future."

After saying this, the atmosphere became much lighter. Lin Lin pointed at the sky, "I have seen this sight before, and I have good news for you. In two hundred years, because of the upgrade of the Magic Potion, being bitten by a Worgen will not be a big deal, and people will not find Worgen too scary."

"Two hundred years, huh," Palin said with a sigh.

He looked up and followed the direction of Lin Lin’s finger to look at the Red Moon.

"What a wonderful time that must be," Palin’s tail wagged again, feeling happy just listening to Lin Lin’s description.

Lin Lin remained silent; she remembered that Worgen have a shorter lifespan than humans, and they would not reach that moment.

"Next time I am reborn, I hope to arrive in that good time," Worgen Palin stated decisively.

Lin Lin gasped, her mind filled with questions, "What do you mean by that?"

"Haven’t you heard your mother say?" Palin said with a firm look, "The shorter-lived races are reborn faster. For example, elves, who live a long time, must wait thousands of years after they die. In the end, everyone’s lifespan and waiting time are about the same."

"But Lorken and I are truly wicked people; even if we were reborn, we would still be dark creatures."

"How fair it is…" Lin Lin chuckled softly, thinking that the bedtime stories of this world were scary yet a bit precise.

She had heard from the Demon King that the death of the human body is not true death; the death of the soul is. Although at that time, the Demon King’s goal was to persuade Lin Lin to become an undead accountant.

"You can die at the most beautiful moment." This was advice from the Demon King.

The Demon King’s advice received two slaps.

In a way, the rebirth of a soul is quite similar to waiting in line for reincarnation.

Hmm, will they be reborn in two hundred years?

Lin Lin looked down at the young man who was peacefully sleeping on her lap.

He had been pushed into cold water today but seemed quite happy about it.

Likes to steal things, has a bad personality and a sharp tongue, does evil things even if they seem small, but enjoys it when being suppressed by others.

Lin Lin’s gaze suddenly became sharp.
